About La Grande Roue
Built at the Old Port of Montreal in 2017 for the 375th anniversary of the city, La Grande Roue ("The Big Wheel") stands 60m (approximately 196ft) above the ground making it the tallest Ferris wheel in Canada! While enjoying a ride on the Ferris wheel you can take in the panoramic view of the beautiful city including historic Old Montreal, Place Jacques-Cartier, and the beautiful architecture of Downtown Montreal with Mount Royal in the backdrop. In the evening, although Mont Royal can no longer be seen, the Mont Royal Cross is beautifully illuminated along with the changing lighting on Jacques-Cartier Bridge. And do not worry about the temperature outside as La Grande Roue operates year-round with climate-controlled cabins!
